Bakraaaa... !!

Well... I must say i'm turning out to be quite the original prankster...!! ;) One of my colleagues at work prides himself at being a professional photographer.. And I really wanted to do something that would make him think that his photography skills have bee recognised. So i grab one of the nokia news letters ...edit the html code to make it looks asif it was an invite to him.The body of the email stated that his photo had been noticed by the talent scouts on flickr and they wanted to display it at a photography contest which was going to be held in pune on the 26th of august.Click on the picture below to see it full size :



Then i signed up for a web service which lets you send spoofed email. I sent the mail to him and made it look asif it had been mailed by Nokia Asia. The poor guy fell for it hook line and sinker !! I actually was skeptical about the success of the whole plan ...but on seeing his excitement on receiving the email ..i was having a hard time keeping a straight face. Hmmm.. And ohhh... The email I wrote contained a number on which he would have to call up to confirm his entry into the contest...

..And that number my friends ...was the number of a AIDS ,HIV and STD helpline based in pune.





You should have seen the look on his face when he actually called them up and started speaking to the person on the other end... A true kodak moment !!!
I'm turning into a real devil !! Gawd help me !! :D

The GPS really works !!

Well..for starters ..i didnt think much of the GPS system.Heck..i dint even think that it'd work in india !! But the most amazing part is that it does work ....and works superbly !! I used it yesterday to track a bike ride from kothrud to koregaon park (in pune )...and mind you ...the N95 was in my pocket all the time ..and yet the device performed extremely well and didnt even drop the signal once. If you want to see what the N95 GPS logging is capable of ..head down to :

I suggest you set the maps to satellite mode for the best effect.
